In-person vs online healthy living and asthma program for kids
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This study compares two programs for helping children with asthma who are overweight or obese — one that is held in person and another that is offered online. It tests whether learning about healthy habits and asthma management works better when done face-to-face or on a computer.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 or older and are the main caregiver for the child.
